Enbridge Line 5 Pipeline Case Returns to State Court

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel succeeded in moving the legal battle over Enbridge's Line 5 pipeline to state court, with a federal appellate panel ruling in her favor. The dispute centers on whether the pipeline, which carries oil through the Great Lakes, should be shut down due to environmental concerns. Enbridge's attempt to shift the case to federal court was rejected on procedural grounds, emphasizing the state's authority in deciding the pipeline's fate. Despite the jurisdictional victory for Nessel, the court's decision did not address the ultimate shutdown of Line 5, leaving the resolution pending further legal proceedings.
